mega melts food truck is known for their grilled cheese sandwiches. yesterday, they made 56 grilled cheese sandwiches in 2 hours. today, mega melt will be open for 3 hours. if they make the grilled cheese sandwiches at the same rate, how many of them will mega melts food truck make today? grilled cheese sandwiches

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the rate of making sandwiches

First, find the number of sandwiches made per hour. The rate $r$ is calculated by dividing the number of sandwiches made yesterday by the number of hours worked yesterday. Given that 56 sandwiches were made in 2 hours, so $r=\frac{56}{2}=28$ sandwiches per hour.

Step2: Calculate the number of sandwiches made today

Multiply the rate $r$ by the number of hours the food - truck is open today. Since the food - truck is open for 3 hours today and the rate is 28 sandwiches per hour, the number of sandwiches made today $n = 28\times3=84$.

Answer:

84
